SPECIAL
EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

LCT
auditions for ‘Dearly Departed’
It would be hard to
imagine a goofier or funnier set of individuals than the members of
a Southern family named the Turpins who are the central characters
in Lincoln Community Theatre’s July 12-20 production of
"Dearly Departed." Despite the family’s earnest
efforts to pull themselves together for their father’s funeral,
other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion. Amidst the
chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors,
an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together
and help each other through their hours of need, and finally, the
funeral.
The comedy is
directed by D. Ann Jones of Clinton.
Auditions will be on
Friday, May 10, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and on Saturday, May 11, from
10 to noon at St. John Church of Christ, 204 Seventh St. in Lincoln.
People wishing to audition should arrive at the beginning and plan
to stay for the full two hours.
The director is
looking for actors ranging in age from 20 on up. The play calls for
a cast of four to six men, six to eight women, a trio of singers and
one teenage girl. There are many parts for older "mature"
actors.
A copy of the script
from this play is available at the main desk of the Lincoln Public
Library. It may not be checked out.
Season tickets for the summer
performances, which also include the June production of "Hello,
Dolly!" and the August production of "The King and
I," are still available. Send check or money order ($20 for
adult ticket; $12 for children through eighth grade) to LCT, Box
374, Lincoln 62656. For information on auditions or season
membership, call (217) 732-4763 or (217) 732-2640.
[Judy
Rader, LCT publicity chairman]

Master
Gardeners walk
The
Master Gardeners of Logan County are undertaking their first major
event of the season. Saturday, June 8, garden enthusiasts will be
given the opportunity to tour eight of Lincoln’s most attractive
gardens.
On
the tour are the perennial garden on the south side of the Extension
office at the Logan County Fairgrounds, the "Children’s
Gardens" just north of Jefferson School on Sixth Street, Mary
and Jerry Moore’s garden at 121 Carter Lane, Pete and Dixie Ross’
garden at 1430 Delavan St., Dr. Don and Jan Sielaff’s garden at
135 Tenth St., Bob and Jody Graue’s garden at 4 Meadow Lane, Sarah
Jacobs’ garden at 326 Park Place, and Bob and Lynn Neal’s Scully
Estate gardens.
The

Tickets
are $8 each and are on sale at State Bank, Logan County Bank, CEFCU,
Union Planters Bank and the Extension office. Make plans now to
attend, and ask your neighbor to tour with you.
A
new Master Gardener class will begin in September at the Logan
County Extension office. All classes are taught by specialists and
professors of the University of Illinois Department of Agriculture.
Oasis
anniversary
The
Senior Citizens of Logan County will have an open house at The Oasis
from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 9, to celebrate 17 years of service.
The public is invited to attend and take a leisurely look at the
senior center, located at 501 Pulaski in Lincoln.
The
event will feature a sampling of the services and activities the
center currently offers. Featured services will include free
glaucoma screening, Circuit Breaker information, veterans’
affairs, free hearing screening, van programs, computer classes,
blood pressure checks, weekend activities, "Memories"
class, ceramics classes, rug-looming class and general membership
information.
Entertainment,
cookies, cake, coffee and punch will be provided for your enjoyment.
Oasis
board members will be available to answer questions.
The
board of directors for the organization is known as a "working
board" and has been chaired by excellent presidents. The
initial president was Ed Bayer, 1984-1985, followed by Bernice
Hackett, 1986-1987; Marge Fuller, 1988-1991; Gene Chapman,
1992-1994; Mary Alvey, 1994-1996; Nancy Amberg, 1996-1997; Dean
Baker, 1998-2001; and the current president, David LaForge.
The
Oasis senior center was chartered in May 1985 as a nonprofit
charitable organization. Since then the organization has grown in
membership and services to the citizens of Logan County.
The
mission of the senior center is to provide services and activities
that enhance an individual’s dignity, support independence and
encourage involvement in and with the community.
Rotary
plants tree at Lincoln College,
honoring Herb Alexander
Lincoln
Rotary honored past member Herb Alexander by planting a hard red
maple tree on the campus of Lincoln College on Friday, April 26, at
4 p.m. The tree is on the west side of the McKinstry Library.
Marty
Ahrends, president of Rotary, said the gesture pays
tribute to all the work that Mr. Alexander
did
for Rotary. "Herb epitomized the Rotary motto of ‘Service Above
Self,’ both in his vocation as a retail grocer and as a man of the
community," she said. "He spent countless hours planting and
watering trees in Lincoln’s parks on behalf of Rotary. This tree
will serve as a living tribute to Herb and all he has given to
Rotary and the people of Lincoln."
Lincoln
College President Jack Nutt said the gift is a wonderful idea.
"Herb chaired the building and grounds committee for Lincoln
College," he explained, "and I think everyone would agree
that this gesture is a living memorial to what Herb was all
about."
Herb
Alexander became a Rotarian in April 1961. He served as club
president in the 1980s and was a Paul Harris Fellow. He also served
as a trustee of Lincoln College from 1978 until his death in
February.
Landfill
open additional hours
The
city landfill at Broadwell Drive and Lincoln Parkway will be open
additional hours starting Tuesday, April 16, through the end of May
so Lincoln residents can dispose of yard waste, street
superintendent Don Osborne announced recently. Hours will be 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. The landfill will be closed
Mondays.

When
family and friends matter most
Fund-raiser
Sunday
[MAY
3, 2002] Family
and friends of Ryan J. Donley and Daphne (Winegardner) Donley are
getting together for a second time this spring in honor of the
couple that was wed seven weeks ago at Holy Family Catholic Church.
Unlike the celebration of new lives beginning together, this
gathering carries a somber purpose. It is to raise funds to help pay
off medical bills incurred by Ryan during their brief marriage. Ryan
passed away from acute leukemia less than four weeks after they were
wed. He had no insurance.
|
Six months after they
met Ryan and Daphne were engaged to be married. They waited and
worked for three years getting their lives in near-perfect order
before they married. Ryan, a 2001 graduate of Embry Riddle
Aeronautical University, wanted to fly for the military. He
completed Officer Training School in Knoxville, Tenn., on Feb. 22,
2002. He was a second lieutenant for Continental Express and a
member of the 183rd Fighter Wing of the Illinois Air National Guard
awaiting F-16 pilot training. He was supposed to report for UPT
(pilot training) on April 2.
![](../images/050302pics/fundar2.jpg)
Daphne, like Ryan,
had been working at her career dream too. She has just graduated
from the same college, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, this
past Saturday. Her goal is to fly for commercial airlines. She’s
looking for a job in a field that has just sustained massive
layoffs.
Daphne is the
granddaughter of Leroy and Judy McCray and the late Nancy
Winegardner. When Daphne was young, she and her parents, Tom and
Barb Winegardner, moved south and currently reside in Florida.
Besides her grandparents, she has lots of other aunts, uncles and
other relatives still living here. With lots of family here, Lincoln
remains their hometown, and the Donleys chose Lincoln for their
March 16 wedding.
[to top of second column in
this article]
|
The day after they
returned from their honeymoon, Monday, March 25, Ryan went into the
hospital. He had been tired and looked a little pale at the wedding,
but who wouldn’t be, getting married in another state just
following officer training. However, as it turned out he was more
than just a little run-down. He was diagnosed that day with acute
leukemia. They immediately began chemotherapy. Ryan just got sicker.
He never left the hospital. Two and a half weeks later, on Thursday,
April 11, 23-year-old Ryan passed away.
![](../images/050302pics/fundart1.jpg)
A new college
graduate, at age 22, Daphne is an unexpected widow with no job and
huge medical bills.
Contributions to help
ease that debt are being accepted. All contributions will be used
only toward the medical bills and nothing else. If you wish to
contribute, you can make checks payable to Tom Winegardner or Daphne
Winegardner and send them to Tom and Barb Winegardner, 132 Mystic
Lane, Jupiter, FL 33458.
You can also attend the benefit
mostaccioli dinner on Sunday, May 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the
K of C Hall in Lincoln. Donations of $5 for adults and $3 for
children 12 and under will be accepted at the door. There will be
raffles and a 50-50 drawing.
